ASME PTB-4-2021: ASME Section VIII – Division 1 Example Problem Manual
ASME PTB-4-2021: ASME Section VIII – Division 1 Example Problem Manual presents a comprehensive set of solved example problems demonstrating the correct application of design-by-rule methods from ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section VIII, Division 1. It serves as a valuable learning and reference tool for engineers, designers, and inspectors working in pressure vessel design and analysis.
Highlights:
- Step-by-step examples covering material selection, MDMT, welded joints, and reinforcement
- Calculations for internal/external pressure, flange design, tubesheets, and expansion joints
- Integration of Mandatory Appendix 46 for using Division 2 methods within Division 1 design
- Comparison of Division 1 and Division 2 approaches to selected design problems
- Commentary offering insight into code interpretation and design rationale
- Dual-unit presentation: U.S. Customary and SI
- Examples include postweld heat treatment, hydrotesting, out-of-roundness, and NDE procedures
- Supports design-by-rule and design-by-analysis education and application
Who It’s For:
Mechanical engineers, vessel designers, educators, and code compliance professionals seeking hands-on understanding and accurate application of ASME Section VIII, Division 1 requirements.
